Aging in the Right Place (AIRP)

The majority of Canadians want to grow old in their own homes, or 鈥渁ge in place鈥�. However, it can be challenging for older adults with experiences of homelessness or housing precarity whose living environments may not match their needs as they age. The Aging in the Right Place (AIRP) Partnership aims to address this challenge, including more than two dozen co-investigator and collaborators, forty partner organizations, and older adult advisors with lived experience of homelessness.  

The AIRP Partnership adopts 鈥渁ging in the right place鈥� as its theoretical framework, which considers how older adults can live as long as possible in their homes while recognizing that an older person鈥檚 living environment must support their unique needs, lifestyles, and vulnerabilities. More about AIRP can be learnt from their website.
